Chocolay River is pet friendly and we welcome out guests who enjoy traveling and sharing their camping experience with the family dog or cat. However to insure all of our guests have a safe and enjoyable time, it is important that you read and abide by the following pet rules:

• Aggressive dogs of any breed are not welcome. If your dog shows behavior that is protective and unfriendly to strangers, please leave it home. If you decide to bring your dog and it exhibits this type of behavior campground management will ask you to please find other camping accommodations.
• All dogs are required to be under control and visual observation of their owners as all times. A 6' (six foot) leash rule is in effect whenever the animal is outside the owner's RV or tent. No dog should be tied up and unattended outside the owner's camping equipment.
